She married him with her whole heart. He married her to keep a promise-now fate will force them to face the truth.
Garrett O'Neill only meant to be Callie Daniels' protector-honoring her mother's dying wish by marrying the shy girl he once considered a little sister. The marriage was supposed to be temporary, a shield to protect Callie's family ranch while she finished college.
But the Callie who returns is no girl.
She's a confident, beautiful woman who has loved Garrett her whole life-and she's ready to claim not just the ranch... but the husband she's always believed was hers.
Yet Garrett's heart is a fortress built from guilt and fear. He never saw himself as worthy of love-least of all Callie's. When missing cattle, mysterious deaths, and a shocking accusation throw the ranch into chaos, Garrett and Callie must stand together to uncover the truth.
Through danger, loyalty, and heartbreak, Callie refuses to give up on the man she married in faith-even when he doubts every reason she believes in him.
Can love break through the walls Garrett built-or will the past destroy their chance at a real marriage?
